The First Lunar Eclipse of Vikram Samvat 2082 Will Fuel Public Discontent

Of the two lunar eclipses visible in Vikram Samvat 2082, the first will occur on September 7, 2025, which coincides with Bhadrapada Shukla Purnima. This total lunar eclipse (Khagras Chandra Grahan) will be visible across Antarctica, the Western Pacific Ocean, Australia, Asia, the Indian Ocean, Europe, and the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, including the whole of India.

Pregnant women are advised to take extra precautions, as traditional beliefs prescribe. Eating during the eclipse period is prohibited, although children, the elderly, and the sick are exempt from such restrictions.

Political and National Impact

From the perspective of India’s national horoscope, this lunar eclipse will occur in the 10th house from the ascendant and the 8th house from the Moon chart. This positioning indicates political instability, bitterness, and turbulence.

Government efforts to control inflation are likely to fail. The outcome will be increasing public dissatisfaction, which will manifest through widespread protests and discontent on the streets.
